WUX → CAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Sunan Shuofang International Airport (Wuxi) to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the expansive Lake Tai immediately after takeoff, followed by the winding Gan River and the unique red-rock Danxia landforms of northern Guangdong.
Lake Tai (Taihu)
China's third-largest freshwater lake, featuring scattered islands and a vast shimmering surface right after takeoff from Wuxi.
Gan River Valley
The main artery of Jiangxi province, showcasing intricate river bends and agricultural patchworks.
Danxia Landforms
Striking red sandstone formations and steep cliffs near Shaoguan, offering a unique geological spectacle.
Pearl River Delta
The immense urban sprawl and industrial heartland appearing as you approach the final landing path into CAN.
Sit on the right for the best views of Lake Tai shortly after rotation. For afternoon flights, you'll witness a spectacular sunset over the Jiangxi mountains. Keep an eye out for the red hues of the Danxia mountains about 30-40 minutes before landing.
Hangzhou Bay
Distant views of the coastal industrial zones and the massive infrastructure connecting the Yangtze Delta.
Wuyi Mountain Range
Dramatic peaks and lush tea-growing valleys along the Jiangxi and Fujian border.
Nanling Mountains
Dense evergreen forests and steep ridges that form the natural boundary between central and southern China.
Northern Guangzhou
Bird's-eye view of the rapidly developing Conghua and Zengcheng districts during the descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side offers excellent views of the rugged mountain terrain if the sky is clear of low-level coastal clouds.
